Justice Denied? Only 25-years later
Post 83740 by Ruthless Bunny deleted for the following reason: The Bhopal/Dow/hoaxster story in general is kind of fascinatingly awful, but these are pretty thin links that don't really bring in much of the story and your post is built around a tiny AP wire article. There's probably a better way to do this post, but this is too thin. -- cortex

Arnold Hold Up
Post 83731 by SamsFoster deleted for the following reason: That's a pretty great picture there, but a single image deep-linked off someone's blog does not a solid metafilter post make. -- cortex
Obama offers beer to house guests
Post 83722 by pallen123 deleted for the following reason: It's a cute update, but it's pretty thin and there's a very active discussion going on in the existing thread, so it'd be better to just add this there if someone hasn't already. -- cortex

Post 83695 by Faustino deleted for the following reason: God am I ever sick of people from Vice doing sketchy self-/friend-linking shit on the site. We were too nice to Dom when he pulled that shit a while back, and we were too nice to you when you did the same thing. Please send a memo around the office or something telling people to stay the fuck away from mefi. -- cortex

It matters if you're black or white and end up red all over
Post 83627 by sid abotu deleted for the following reason: now that I've watched people getting stabbed, I'm going to have to say that a jokey title to a video with a super-violent lead in and not a lot more explanation (which internet shock video) does not make this great for metafilter. -- jessamyn

Post 83449 by mandeville deleted for the following reason: So it looks like Yoosk is a production of Channel4, one of the clients (and now three-time mefi post subject) of the PR firm you work for. That's pretty shitty stuff, and you are now banned. -- cortex

Night of the Cephalopods
Post 83417 by Pope Guilty deleted for the following reason: Peering into the darkness, he saw at last a glimmer of movement. Up from the depths a shadow crept, darkness in flesh, writhing toward him with unspeakable movements. His mind, assualted thus, was rent and split, his wonder and terror doubling, trebling, diffusing into madness. -- cortex

Post 83393 by zerobyproxy deleted for the following reason: A link to a youtube video by a guy who we banned for self-linking (to say nothing of recycling his material) is not really great post material, as entertainingly meta as the whole thing may be at a glance. -- cortex

Post 82978 by Mr.S deleted for the following reason: I don't think you meant any harm, but blackface is kind of a culturally charged bit of history and just posting some without context and then being cryptic in the comments when people ask you what you were thinking is not a great way to jump into the posting game. -- cortex
